Following hot on the heels of Bayonetta, New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the thirteenth title in Famitsu history to earn the fabled 40/40 perfect score. The reviewers cited that the co-op play and the single play were both enjoyable, as was just moving Mario around the screen.

In comparison, the original New Super Mario Bros. on the DS earned a 36/40. For those unfamiliar with Famitsu scoring, a perfect score means that four individual reviewers from the publication awarded the game a 10/10.
